Free printables for the whole family
OK, so the kids have been on school holidays for a few weeks now, they’ve just about lost interest in the Christmas presents and the natives are getting restless. Pulling out your hair trying to keep them entertained?
Even taking a couple of kids to the movies can break the bank, particularly at a time when everyone is trying to tighten their belts with rising living costs.
Fortunately, there are still some family activities that can still be a lot of fun and not cost the earth — well, just the cost of some printing. If you’re looking for some free entertainment that the whole family can get into, you should check out the FreePrintables site.
You’ll find printable activities for the kids including colouring pages, games, puzzles and crafts. There are even school worksheets, but it’s probably best not to mention those while the kids are still on holiday.
There’s also sheet music for budding musicians, cards and invitations for the social butterflies, plus wrapping paper, labels, name tags, awards and certificates, recioe cards, stationery, party supplies, calendars and more.
